Water is the answer that I got
This question is missing the answer choices. I have found them online. Since the passage is the same, I will omit it:
What technique does the author use to build suspense in the excerpt?
A. word choice
B. quickening the pace of the story
C. intentionally omitting setting details
D. making the outcome of events uncertain
Answer:
The technique the author uses to build suspense is:
C. intentionally omitting setting details
Explanation:
The setting of a story is the place where and the time when the story happens. When an author wishes to make the setting clear, he will give out details and descriptions to help readers visualize it.
<u>However, that is not what happens in the excerpt we are analyzing here. The author intentionally leaves out details to build suspense. He does not offer a description of the museum and, most importantly, of the objects inside the museum. What are the "hulking objects" he mentions? Mummies? Old statues? What do they look like? We do not know. All we know is that they cast long shadows and stretch across the floor. By describing them so poorly, the author creates suspense, leaving readers wondering about these objects and their role in the story.</u>

Imagery is the use of figurative language to represent objects, actions and thoughts in a way that activates the physical senses of the reader (sight, smell, hearing, tactile and taste). It is what makes the reader involved in a story, by activating feelings he/she might know. It is what makes a story feel realistic.
Its function in literature is to create a graphic representation of a scene, with as much description as possible so the reader can paint a mental picture of what's going on.
So, that through the use of imagery meaning is created could mean that it is what gives a story depth and complexity, it is what makes a story similar to the real world.
